Upside:

Play Date: 03/27/2007
CTRP (Ctrip.com International--$65.86; -1.57; optionable): Chinese trip services
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/c/ctrp.html
STATUS: Double bottom w/handle. Very nice low volume pullback to the 10 day EMA Tuesday as CTRP sets the handle for the breakout from its 9 week base. Nice pattern setting up for a breakout to a new all-time high. Positive 4 to 2 accumulation in the base (4 up price weeks on rising volume to 2 down price weeks on rising volume) shows plenty of buying to give CTRP the foundation for its breakout and run higher. Consistent leader with solid fundamentals growth as well.

BUY POINT: $67.75 Volume=700K Target=$77.95 Stop=$65.21

EDU (New Oriental Education & Tech--$43.37; +0.39; optionable): Private education services in China
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/e/edu.html
STATUS: Reverse head and shoulders. A new issue in November 2006, EDU has enjoyed a nice run and is currently in its third base since it its IPO. It has spent the past week moving laterally as the 10 day EMA rises to meet it. Good set up for a break to yet another new all-time high. Top earnings growth rates to go along with the pattern.

ROP (Roper Industries--$53.86; -0.14; optionable): Energy systems and controls
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/r/rop.html
EARNINGS: Announced 2-22-07
STATUS: Cup w/handle. After a strong surge to end last week and form the right side of its short 5 week pattern, ROP is fading back to test the 10 day EMA (53.56) on low volume, showing a doji at that level Tuesday. This short pattern is consolidating the January breakout from a larger 10 month base. Excellent action that is testing that move and setting up a new all-time high.
Volume: 348.9K Avg Volume: 440.898K
BUY POINT: $54.98 Volume=661K Target=$62.95 Stop=$52.97

http://biz.yahoo.com/p/t/talx.html
EARNINGS: 4-23-07
STATUS: Breakout test. TALX surged with a big gap in mid-February, continuing the breakout from a big 13 month cup with handle base. It hit 37 after the gap and has spent the past 5 weeks filling the gap. Found support at 32 where it consolidated for three weeks in early February. Making a higher low at the 18 day EMA and looking for a break higher from there on a new surge in volume. Nice pattern and excellent fundamentals growth rates to go with it.

BUY POINT: $34.08 Volume=850K Target=$39.35 Stop=$33.18
